# `NodeFormattingExtension`

## Summary

This extension adds node formatting to your text editor.

## Features

### Text alignment

Text can be aligned in different ways like left, right, center, justify, etc.

```tsx
const AlignButtons = () => {
  const commands = useCommands();
  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => commands.leftAlign()}>Left</button>
      <button onClick={() => commands.centerAlign()}>Center</button>
      <button onClick={() => commands.rightAlign()}>Right</button>
    </>
  );
};
```

### Indent

Text can be structured with different levels of indent.

```tsx
const IndentButtons = () => {
  const commands = useCommands();
  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => commands.decreaseIndent()}>&lt;&lt;</button>
      <button onClick={() => commands.increaseIndent()}>&gt;&gt;</button>
    </>
  );
};
```

### Line height

The line height can be adjusted to be:

- **More compact**: showing more lines of text per page allows to convey more information
- **More spacious**: adding more whitespace between lines eases reading

```tsx
const LineHeightButtons = () => {
  const commands = useCommands();
  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={() => commands.setLineHeight(1)}>Narrow</button>
      <button onClick={() => commands.setLineHeight(2)}>Wide</button>
    </>
  );
};
```
